Built by Ferris at Looe in 1911 as a mackerel drifter. GUIDE ME worked out of Looe and Mevagissey until 1966. Purchased in 1977 by Judy Brickhill who sailed her in1988 to South Africa via Brazil. Returned to Cornwall in 1992. GUIDE ME is still in private ownership and is probably the most original Cornish Lugger afloat. She has no engine.
